Tensions are high between the Israelis and the Palestinians, even as the warring factions of the PA come to an agreement

Hamas and Fatah, the two leading factions in the Palestinian Authority (PA), have agreed to work together to establish a Palestinian state; the first step in what these Palestinian militants say is the reclaiming of their historic homeland, all of what is the Jewish state of Israel today.

Hamas said that this agreement does not call for the recognition of Israel. Even as the agreement was being signed, the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) was making a ground incursion into the Gaza Strip after warning the PA that the Palestinian Islamist militants must return the Israeli Defense soldier recently kidnapped or face an assertive military operation.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

An agreement between the warring factions of the PA and the establishment of a Palestinian state as the first step in destroying the Jewish state of Israel is a page out of Bible prophecy for the Last Days. The Palestinian Foreign Minister of the Hamas-led PA two months ago said on the Palestinian Media that their strategy was to kidnap the IDF soldiers as a way to pressure the Israeli government.

The refusal to return the missing soldier to Israel prompted the IDF ground incursion into the Gaza Strip on a mission to rescue the young Israeli soldier. The timing on either the IDF military offensive or the signing of the manifesto by Hamas and Fatah, an agreement on how to establish a Palestinian state, is not coincidental and in essence, they both are pages out of Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

The ancient Jewish prophets Ezekiel, Obadiah, Jeremiah, and Malachi all called for a scenario in the Last Days that would bring about a conflict between the descendants of two brothers, Jacob and Esau; Jacob, the father of the Jewish people and Esau, the father of the Palestinian people.

An agreement to establish a Palestinian state as a first step to destroying Israel and an Israeli military action are both pages out of Bible prophecy, Bible prophecy that will be fulfilled.
